• Jan 2007 -- From Jay and Ed -- We're both fine, retired and beginning to enjoy it. We have a 'new' grandson, and have been pretty busy watching him grow. He's now four years old, (see, how time flies?) and my daughter and son-in-law live just twenty minutes away. My other granddaughter lives in Maryland, so we do not get to see her as much. All the family was able to get here on Christmas, with the exception of my son and his wife who live in Oregon. It's one of the few times we see almost the whole family together.



• Dec 2006 - From Gail: We always have Christmas at home. Karyn will not be able to join us - she just got a permanent position at Boeing so I am sure is not able to get away. We are hoping to make a trip out to see her some time in January. Will have Christmas with the kids, my mom, Daryl, Andrew, Janice and Jessica.
  
• Dec 2006 -- From Tommy - Stayed home this Yuletide as one of our twin daughters, Laurel, came in to spend the Christmas Holidays with me. Linda, our oldest daughter, and husband, Cliff, plans to come here beginning of February to spend a week. Was planning for a trip to NYC latter part of this month, but will postpone the trip until after they leave. Had planned a trip to Reno in October, but an earthquake occurred day, Sunday, day before we were to leave. Hardly any damage to places in Honolulu, all damage were in Hawaii, the Big Island. However, here in Honolulu, we were without electricity for 19 hours. Canceled my flight as
  there was a large backup of people in the airport waiting to leave. Weather has been rather chilly last few weeks, but not much rain. Also a sewer drainage line broke and all that waste went into the Ala Wai Canal and on to the ocean which brought a lot of the waster on to the beaches. So beaches were off limit for a few days. The tourists here were disappointed as they couldn't go into the
  ocean for several days
